HIGH WATER AT BISMARCK.

BISMARCK OAK, March 25.-The dav
has been busy one for the railroad COM
pany atthis point. Transfers from both
ways have all been made successfully and
travellers are beginning to enjoy the variety
of land and water transportation. The
SwarInS of strangers on the streets of the
city, which have been SO conspicuous for
the last ten days, have mostly disappeared
and the city has assumed the quiet and
tranquil appearance of yOre. The banks
OF the river and of the BLACK sea- south
of the city are lined all day long with men,
women and children. all intent on getting
some pleasure and satisfaction out
of the unfortunate situation. Oc-
caSonally a small boy gives himself
a bath. through mistake unintentionally

fished out. The special messenger dis
patched by the attorneys yesterday to sum-
mon witness found it necessary to swim
his horse through three streams. A yawl
on its way from Mandan to Bismarck was
struck by floating cake of ice and came
near capsizing with several persons on
board. The ice still floats in monster cakes
in front of the city and lodges along the
line of the gorge below, where it presents
the appearance of continuous ice. The
bank is from ten to twenty feet high. The
water has fallen slowly during the day, and
still continues. There are no indications
of break below. 1t is believed by some
that the current of the Missouri river will
be changed from the old channel to the
new one now running in front of the city,
thus giving Bismarck an extensive water
front and manufacturing facilities.

THEY EXrECT Trouble.
The People of Yankton Look for
Very High Water Within the Next
Twenty.FOur Hours.

Special TO the Globe.
YANKToN, OAK, March 25.-The Mis-
souri, is steadily rising and has overfiowe
the low lands opposite this city. Near FL k
Point the track of the Chicago. Milwaukee
IL st. Paul railway has been washed out for
distance of about one-half mile. A heavy
rise is hourly expected to reach here from
the upper river. The river has risen two
feet in the last twelve hours and reports of
q general overflow along both sides of the
river are being received. Couriers were
dispatched to the more threatened districts
and farmers warned in time to move their
families. Very high water is anticipated
during the next twenty four hours. Be-
tween Bismarck and Yankton come ac-
counts of floods which are very
largely caused by an outpour-
ing of the waters of intermediate
streams and the rise and fall of the Mis-
souri, below Bismarck is not therefore to be
governed entirely by the flow from the ice
dam near Bismarck. The Grand, Moreau,
Sheyenne, Bad, White and Niobrara rivers
are all large streams in the flood season,
and they drain the slope west of the Mis-
souri, between Bismarck and Yankton. All
these rivers are attaining flood proportions
and are pouring their volume into the Mis-
souri,. From this source high water can be
expected at Yankton Independent of any
rise at Bismarck. 1t is stated that the
flood in the Moreau has raised the water
above the tree tops and that the Missouri
below the mouth of that stream is six feet
higher than in 1881 and is covering all the
bottom lands. We can therefore look for
considerable rise at this point from the Mo-
reau and its companion streams of the west
ward slope.

possessed of abundance of capital to
place upon the premises magnlf-
icent structure. Rumor has it that these
gentlemen have in contemplation build
ing especially adapted to the insurance and
printing business. Three prosperous in
surance companies have their principal
offices in this city, viz: The Dakota-Mu-
tual the Fidelitv-both fire-and the
Northwestern Life; all three doing large
business. Mr.. Davis is the secretary of
two of the companies, and also the senior
partner of the firm of Davis & Ketchum,
publishers of the Daily Huronite. while the
other gentlemen named in the purchase are
more or less interested in the insurance
business. making it quite probable that a
building as above indicated will be erected.
The purchase is regarded as one of the
most important that has been made for
many months, and is likely to be followed
by others equally important.

Savage Ornaments i'm Dakota.
Herald

There are few ornaments now in use
with any meaning among the Dakota In
dams. Eagle feathers. the number worn
showing the number Of enemies killed. the
wing feathers of the bald-headed eagle de-
noting male, and the black eagle feathers
denoting women, are, perhaps. the most
prominent. If they have scalped the enemy
a broad red streak is painted upon the
feathers. If the person killed was of promi-
nence or reputation, the feather is some
times dyed red. Small sticks wrapped with
porcupine quilts are sometimes attached to
the quill of the feather, and lit
tie pieces of white fur glued to
the ends. No one will wear an
eagle feather unless entitled to it, aszthey
believe it will fly away from their heads If
worn unlawfully. The scalp-lock ass stiil.
worn even among the sO-called civilized In
dams. They arrange the scalp lock proper
an inch across. and tie around this very
firmly headband, and then the hair is
braided and an otter skin is tied around it
spirally. forming a braid at least two, and
sometimes as much as four feet long, This
is kept oiled for the enemy. If, an Indian
has the time, and the person killed is of
importance, he will scalp off the whole from
beneath the eyebrows, including the eyes.

as they are costly believe the wearing of

of craftsmanship.

an image out of paper or bark, and placing
it upon the ground, the patient is held over
